Two options

Welcome to iboats.

You will either have to purchase a snap kit and DIY or go to someone who makes custom covers and have it done.....

There is no "standard" to the snaps or the spacing.

Sadly, not to many companies making custom stuff for 36 year old boats. There just aren't enough of them still floating.

For the cover, you'll have to get someone to make a custom one for you. For the cushions, pretty much the same thing.

Or, as suggested above, do it yourself. I've seen several people who have made their own cushions and you can buy kits to install snaps.

Owning older boats is great, but you just can't expect to find custom-fitted things for them.
